That's what the CNTW ticky box is for on AO3. Outside of AO3 just say that there's triggering material in the fic, or that you don't warn for triggering material. It's not that hard and doesn't spoil anything, and people that do have triggers will be able to decide for themselves whether or not to read the fic.


Though I gotta say, I find your reasoning weak, OP. If you really were to just write for yourself you wouldn't post your fics online. There has to be a reason why you choose to post your fics, otherwise you would be fine with just writing them and keeping them to yourself. Warning (and saying that you don't use warnings is a kind of warning) is a common courtesy and really not that hard. I really don't get what the big deal is.

Er...I think some authors like to share their fics publicly because they know other people might appreciate the chance to read them, not because the authors themselves get anything out of sharing them. Especially in small fandoms.

I don't think that OP is necessarily getting/expecting anything out of posting their fics, just that there is a reason why they'd post them publicly. Wanting to share their fics and let other people enjoy them is a reason. And at that point, warning (in any form) is just part and parcel. Fanfic is part of the larger community of fandom, and in fandom it's nowadays custom to warn for triggering material, not just a courtesy anymore. Even if they only write for themselves, by posting fic the OP takes part in fandom and subscribes to the customs of the community.

That's why "I write for myself" is a really weak argument here. OP can write for themself for as long as they want, but as soon as they share it with fandom where warning is common these days they can't really complain about being expected to warn. Especially since the solution (CNTW) to their problem is also commonly accepted in fandom.

Yeah, that makes sense.
